Some people couldn't help laughing.
The mother-in-law glared at the man, then smiled and said to the wealthy man: "Uncle, a thousand pieces of gold are easy to come by, but a beautiful woman is hard to find. If you buy her, you will naturally know the benefits. She is well-read in poetry and books. She is smart, and besides being able to serve you in bed, she can also help you run the back house, take care of your business, and have children."
The high-roller snorted: "I have these five thousand taels of silver, but which lady is the matchmaker marrying?"
The mother-in-law said: "When you marry a wife, you can neither beat her nor scold her, nor can you divorce her easily. As long as you buy my girl, she is yours. The deed of sale is in your hand, and she can't run away. If you want her to cry, she will Cry, she will laugh if you want her to, lick the soles of your feet if you want her to, and she will do it. Even if you kill her, no one will hold you accountable. Isn’t that more worry-free than marrying a wife? "
The hawker thought for a while: "I don't have enough money on me right now. I'll have it when I come back from selling salt on this trip."
The mother-in-law smiled: "Then you have to hurry up. Our girls are very popular. Several salt merchants came to inquire yesterday."
Hao Ke said: "Okay, okay, I will go to Dingyuan tomorrow and I will definitely be back within ten days."
The next day, Hao Ke went to the Salt Transfer Department to collect 10,000 kilograms of salt, loaded twenty carts with it, hired a few bodyguards, and headed for Dingyuan. We met at Yanzhuang in Dingyuan and headed back.
It's raining lightly today, so merchants who can't go out don't go out.
Only Hao Ke, who is in a hurry to respond to the sight of others, will rush on.
Not long after leaving Dingyuan, we entered the mountains.
There are towering trees in the mountains, with dense branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun.
If the sky is bright and clear, walking among the trees will be as dark as evening.
It was dark outside today, and the forest was as cold and dark as night.
The moss-covered ground was extremely slippery, and the rain reflected the faint light that barely filtered through the leaves.
Seeing that there was an open space ahead, the high-profile guest loudly ordered the bodyguards: "Everyone, be careful, I'm afraid there are thieves here."
As soon as they finished speaking, five people walked out from behind the tree, holding Japanese swords in their hands. They surrounded them and chopped them down without saying a word.
The high-roller and all the bodyguards fell to the ground without hesitation.
The Japanese pirates had never seen anything like this before. They were so shocked that they stopped and laughed wildly: "You coward, what kind of man are you to give up the resistance? You Ming Dynasty people are really useless."
"Surrender means death. We have no intention of leaving anyone alive."
"Kill kill kill."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded in the air, like countless people whistling together, but it was much thinner than the whistle.
The Japanese pirates turned their heads blankly, and then saw a swarm of black bees-like things flying through the darkness toward them.
"What is that?" someone muttered.
Then in the next second, he was stabbed into a hedgehog by countless arrows.
By this time, they realized too late that what they saw were countless arrows.
He vomited blood and fell down, but because his body was covered with arrows, he died hanging in the air by the arrows.
The strange thing is that one Japanese pirate was hit by only one arrow, and it was still in the leg.
He dragged his legs and was about to run, when another arrow flew out of the darkness and pierced his other thigh.
The Japanese pirate fell forward and raised his knife to stab himself. A third arrow came out of the air and pierced his right arm.
A small figure slowly approached from the mist, holding a bow with an arrow on it.
The arrow pointed at the Japanese pirate's nose.
Behind him was a large group of dark guards wearing armor and holding wild goose feather knives.
The few people who were lying on the ground just now jumped up and stood behind the child.
The child's voice was as cold as ice and he said to the Japanese pirates: "It's you damned Japanese pirates again. If I didn't want to keep you alive, I would cut you into pieces right now."
The Japanese pirate opened his eyes wide and said, "Are you the little King of Hell? Didn't you respond to the sky?"
Zhu Bai twitched the corner of his mouth: "Tsk, tsk, you know me well. It's not in vain that I picked you to stay and torture you slowly."
These guards were transferred from Lan Yu.
They pretended to be merchants and were led by Hu Dahai to meet Zhu Bai on the Yangtze River.
Then Zhu Bo and them pretended to be merchants in batches and sneaked into Yangzhou City.
Then Hu Dahai pretended to be a high-roller and started his performance with a huge sum of 100,000 yuan in salt.
"Master Zhang, bury these Japanese pirates. Dig the hole deeper so that other Japanese pirates don't find them. Don't forget to pull out the arrows from their bodies, so as not to waste our weapons." Zhu Bai rushed to several pro-military captains. He raised his chin and said, "Thank you, gentlemen, please find a place and slowly examine this one."
When the Japanese pirate heard this, he wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself, but he was tapped from behind and became paralyzed and unable to move.
The pro-military captains bowed their hands to Zhu Bai and took the Japanese pirates aside.
Interrogating prisoners is their specialty.
Zhu Bai was not worried at all that they would not be able to ask.
There was the thin cry of Japanese pirates over there.
Zhu Bai knew that it was not that the Japanese pirate was particularly forbearing, but that he was choked and unable to scream.
The pro-military captain was probably afraid of frightening him, so the Japanese pirate couldn't scream no matter how painful it was.
But the more this happens, the more creepy it becomes.
Zhu Bai pursed his lips and walked a little further, looking at the dense mist on the mountains and forests in the distance with his hands behind his back.
Although they were far apart, the strong smell of blood mixed with various indescribable smells still drifted in along with the damp rain and mist.
Is he cruel and inhumane?
Japanese pirates are human beings too. Should he respect their human rights?
fart!
As long as you have seen the common people and merchants killed by Japanese pirates, you will not have such thoughts! !
And he happened to be the one who had witnessed that brutal scene several times.
Moreover, even if he spares their lives now, in the end they will either be silenced or be cut into pieces by Lao Zhu.
If the news is leaked, the Japanese pirates will disperse in a hurry, and it will be difficult to catch them again.
Get some information from the mouths of these Japanese pirates, catch the remaining Japanese pirates as soon as possible, and prevent more innocent people from being murdered is the real kindness.
After half a stick of incense, the leader of the pro-army captain came out with stains of blood and various unknown liquids on his body.
He cupped his hands at Zhu Bai and said, "Your Highness, I've asked."
Zhu Bai glanced at Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu led the others away.
It's not that he doesn't trust them, but the less people know about something, the greater the chance of success.
Then the pro-military captain leaned over and said a few words in Zhu Bai's ear.
Zhu Bai nodded slightly and asked him: "Is he dead?"
The pro-military captain said: "He's dead."
For that Japanese pirate, it was a blessing to die early at this moment.
Zhu Bai said: "Buried on the spot."
Then the pro-military captain went to bury people again.
Zhu Bai continued to look at the rain and mist in the distance and pondered.
Zhang Yu and the others knew that he was thinking about how to arrest people quickly and effortlessly, so they didn't dare to come forward and disturb him.
